CPSD6 Talented & Gifted Program

Mission

The district Talented and Gifted program strives to nurture gifted students in developing their abilities in order to realize their full potential through challenging curriculum and authentic learning activities.

Philosophy

Central Point School District 6 is committed to an educational program that recognizes the unique diversity of the students we serve, identifies their needs and talents, and provides appropriate instructional services to create educational opportunities for all students, including those identified as Talented and Gifted. 

Gifted and talented students are those students who demonstrate exceptional capabilities that require services beyond the scope of the regular classroom curriculum. Gifted students…

• are individuals with unique patterns of abilities and interests.
• benefit from intellectual stimulation and collaboration  with peers with similar abilities and interests.
• are challenged through differentiated curriculum and instruction designed to meet the level and rate of learning.
• may need support and guidance to address their unique, academic, social, and emotional needs.
• benefit from access to future college and career opportunities.

CPSD6 District Talented & Gifted Plan

Talented and Gifted (TAG) students are an important part of every school community across Oregon. In Oregon, districts and schools must plan for how they will meet the academic and social-emotional needs of TAG students, specific to their local context, and communicate these plans to the students and families they serve.

District-level Talented and Gifted Education Plans serve as an integral communication tool to district educators, families, and community partners. Districts are required to submit their TAG plans to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) every year, provide copies upon request to schools within their district, and post a copy on their district website. (OAR 581-022-2500 (2)(a)(A))

Oregon laws that govern Talented and Gifted Education include both Oregon Revised Statutes (Oregon laws passed by the State Legislature, abbreviated as ORS) and Oregon Administrative Rules (requirements that are adopted by the State Board of Education to support Oregon Revised Statutes, abbreviated as OAR). Statutes provide legal definitions and broad guidelines specific to gifted education. The Oregon Administrative Rules outline the specific requirements districts implement to meet the minimum standards for identification, parents rights, and programs and services. Specific statutes and OARs are referenced throughout this TAG plan.

Central Point School District’s TAG program identifies students who are intellectually gifted and/or academically talented in reading and math, as demonstrated by standardized tests, teacher and parent rating scales, anecdotal information, and work samples, as well as through additional screening.
